  	CWGC details for this cemetery
  War Memorial	Aft 1915
  	Probably the Robert Emmerson commemorated: on the Jarrow Memorial; on the Whitburn Memorial; on Whitburn Parish Church War Memorial; on Whitburn Methodist Church War Memorial. (both church memorials list all the "men of Whitburn" who lost their lives) Aged 29 when war broke out, Robert might have left home and been working in Jarrow. The Robert who is commemorated in Jarrow is shown as a worker in the steel works.  (The CWGC website suggests only 2 "R" Emmersons died in WW1, the other being an RG, who served as a Corporal in the Durham Light Infantry; it is possible one or more of the above refer to him or another Robert where the use of a second Christian name has caused him not to show up on CWGC.)
